Get LBreakout: addictive to the max.

Frozen bubble of course. A fun game.

I googled Linux arcade games and got these links:
http://absolutist.com/linux/
But I'm not sure they come with source.

I'm sure there's plenty more ...

If you're looking for arcade shooters I'd recommend going with Quake III or Unreal Tournament. Not only do they both run natively on linux but they're older so you can find them in the local $5 bin

Download xmame, the Arcade Machine Emulator, and some roms to go with it
